Great job!!!!

Last time I saw that boat it was at a small boat show, 2000 timeframe, here in NJ. The boat didn't have SSM#6's on it and looked like it had a broken stringer near the transom on the port side. At the time it had motors with the kinsler injection but it looked like it was ready for an overhaul.

Great job on the project, it looks great!!!!

By any chance were you running off Sandy Hook on Wenesday evening??

104.6 MPH dry sumped drives last winter might have more left with props.
